Seniors, Old Farts And Just Growing Old!, Attaining "Senior" status

Getcha motor running, head out on the highway........... sorry!

Good for you Camac!!! Does this mean we will hear news from up there that people are having to dive off the sidewalks?

flora;

Not really that's a no no here. For some reason (beyond me) the police get very upset. Bicycles in Ontario are covered by the Highway Traffic Act and must obey all the rules of the road.

PS. There is a photo of the Brochure Cover in my album

Can you rig a mast to it, in case you run out of gas AND get sick of pedaling?

stoirmeil;

No but I have been thinking about possibly rigging some kind of wind turbine to recharge the battery while I riding. Glad it's electric as gas has gone back up to a $1.00 a litre ($4.50/gal)

Camac,

I'm just saying be careful out there!

I bought an old (at the time) Vespa Italian scooter. It has a bench seat and a box behind the seat plus some tubular parts, possibly a canopy. Then maybe they are not related to the scooter at all. I bought it at an auction tor about $20. Since the engine was not locked up, I checked about getting it restored. The shop wanted to buy it and was much too eager. I insured it for twice what I was offered and stored it. It would be different than the MoPeds that are getting popular here.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING,

SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD? WELL...YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE!

MY NAME IS ALICE SMITH AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY

FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DENTAL DIPLOMA,

WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.

SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK HAIRED BOY WITH THE

SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY SECONDARY SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO

COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?

UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT.

THIS BALDING, GRAY HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS FAR TOO

OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED

HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL .

'YES, YES I DID. I'M A MORGANNER! 'HE BEAMED WITH PRIDE.

'WHEN DID YOU LEAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE?' I ASKED

HE ANSWERED, IN 1965. WHY DO YOU ASK?

'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!' I EXCLAIMED.

HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.

THEN THAT

UGLY,

OLD,

BALD,

WRINKLED,

FAT ARSED,

GREY HAIRED,

DECREPIT,

BASTARD ASKED....

'WHAT DID YOU TEACH?'

A minister is called to a home to perform a wedding. The elderly but anxious groom meets him at the door. The man of the cloth has a few questions.

Do you love her? “I guess” the man says.

Is she a good Christian woman? “I don’t know for sure,” he replies.

Does she have lots of money? “I doubt it,” the man says.

Then why are marrying her? “She can drive at night!!!!”

Grandpa and Grandma were sitting in their porch rockers watching the beautiful sunset and reminiscing about "the good old days," when Grandma turned to Grandpa and said, "Honey, do you remember when we first started dating and you used to just casually reach over and take my hand?"

Grandpa looked over at her, smiled and obligingly took her aged hand in his.

With a wry little smile, Grandma pressed a little farther, "Honey, do you remember how after we were engaged, you'd sometimes lean over and suddenly kiss me on the cheek?"

Grandpa leaned slowly toward Grandma and gave her a lingering kiss on her wrinkled cheek.

Growing bolder still, Grandma said, "Honey, do you remember how, after we were first married, you'd kind of nibble on my ear?"

Grandpa slowly got up from his rocker and headed into the house. Alarmed, Grandma said, "Honey, where are you going?"

Grandpa replied, "To get my teeth!"

Doctor: You're in good health. You'll live to be 80.

Patient: But, doctor, I am 80 right now.

Doctor: See, what did I tell you?

Just got back from the Lab where I had to have some tests done. Blood, E.K.G., and urine. I have to tell you the Lab Techs who draw blood are all Dracul's Children. Bloody Vampires, the whole bunch. I swear I'm the main course.The E.K.G. is OK except the gurney is always cold. The Urine sample is always my hang up as I never can go when someone wants me to. So they give me a jar and tell me to go home and bring it back later. It never fails, 10 mins after I leave I have to pee. The Lab is located in the basement of the med building and you have to go down two flights of stairs. Going down is Ok it's getting back up. My legs hate stairs and start screaming the second I put my foot on the first run and don't stop until 3 days later. Who ever said that 60+ are the Golden Years ought to be hung, drawn, and quartered, boiled in oil, and buried up to the neck in an ant hill.

I too detest stairs too and if they have no elevator, I don't go there! As for EKG's, I have to keep mine in my briefcase to prove that I do not need to go to the ICU.

There is a lady at University Hospital who is in her late 60's and who has been drawing blood for almost 50 years. I try to get her when possible.

As for peeing, I run the cup over if I am not careful
